Abstract:

The formulation disclosed comprises of a suitable solvent at a level for removing the hair stiffeners and other hair-adhered chemicals (say, from about 70% to about 95% w/w); an emulsifier at a level effective to emulsify the removed chemicals (say, from about 5% to about 25% w/w); and, optionally, a hair conditioner for the animal's hair (say, from about 0.5 to about 5% w/w). One embodiment is a two-part formulation having 85% w/w soy methyl ester and 15% w/w of a phosphate ester emulsifier. Both ingredients are readily biodegradable. A hair conditioner can be included in the formulation to leave the hair softer. The formulation also may be pre-emulsified.
